Walk west a couple of steps and you'll meet up with Cheren. He will walk you on the tracks to the Pokemon Center and give you 3 Chesto Berries, which wake up a sleeping Pokemon. After Cheren leaves, you might want to heal your Pokemon after the long trip through Route 3.

The building west of the Pokemon Center has battle items such as X Defend and X Attack for sale. These items increase a specific stat for the duration of a single battle. I've found them to be good to use for battles with gym leaders. The building west of that has a person that will give a very good item. Talk to the blue-haired woman. She will ask you to pick one of three choices and she will give an item based on your choice.

1. Snivy	Miracle Seed	Powers up Grass-Type moves 20%
2. Oshawott	Mystic Water	Powers up Water-Type moves 20%
3. Tepig	Charcoal	Powers up Fire-Type moves 20%

The obvious choice is to pick your starter Pokemon, but you can choose whatever you want. You could even pick the item that will help out your elemental monkey if you'd like. Don't worry too much about this decision because you can get all three of these items throughout the game regardless of which on you get now.

Each one of the items will power up a Pokemon's moves of the related type by twenty percent when held. To give a Pokemon an item to hold, press X to bring up the start menu, choose Pokemon, then select the Pokemon you want to give an item. The third choice in the dialog that pops up will be "Item", and it will give the choices "Give" and "Take." Choose Give and then find the item in your bag that you want the Pokemon to hold. You can always choose Take in order to get the item back from your Pokemon.

The first building east of the Pokemon Center is closed, but the next house east has a trade available. Upstairs in this building is a girl who wants to trade her Petilil for your Cottonee in Black, or her Cottonee for your Petilil in White. Cottonee can only be caught in Black and Petilil can only be caught in White, so this is a good way to fill up your Pokedex. Also, traded Pokemon gain more experience than non-traded Pokemon. You can't yet catch either Cottonee (Black) or Petilil (White) until you get to the Pinwheel Forest, but Nacrene City is connected to the forest to the west so you can go catch one after you defeat this city's gym.

If you go northwest from the Pokemon Center you'll find a Cafe. If it's Wednesday then it's your lucky day because the waitress in the front will give you a Soda Pop for talking with her.

The big, gray building north of the Pokemon Center is the Nacrene City Museum and Gym. N will walk out as your try to enter and he will want to battle you. N's Tympole can confuse you, but you can just switch out a confused Pokemon to heal the confusion. Timburr can hit for a lot of damage, so be careful.

	Tympole	Lv. 13

Once you walk into the museum you will see a scientist looking at a skeleton of a Dragonite. He will show you some of the various exhibits of the museum before leading you upstairs to the gym. Before you head into the gym, you will want to go to the Pinwheel Forest to train up your Pokemon and get a TM of a Fighting-type move which will be super-effective against this gym leader's Normal-type Pokemon. Make your way outside and head west to go to Pinwheel Forest.

Items in Nacrene City:

	Chesto Berry	Cheren gives you three when you enter the city.
	Soda Pop	The waitress of the cafe on Wednesdays.
	Ultra Ball (Hidden)	Standing directly in front of the accordianist: talk one step down, take two steps right, and press A.
